Finite-value correctness for P3109 projection #
Positive-row encoding and decoding preserve the rational value of a positive dyadic on the
descriptor's precision grid, including the carry significand 2^P. These formulas use natural
numbers without an upper exponent bound. Projection.Range adds the finite-range and bit-width
bounds needed for full datum encoding.
Decoding the code that the encoder assembles from a row-scaled significand.
shifted is the significand scaled into the selected exponent row, so it is below 2^P, and it
is below 2^(P-1) only when that row is the subnormal one.
Positive-row encoding preserves every positive dyadic accepted by the precision grid.
The significand bound is not strict: the carry value 2^P, produced when precision rounding
increments an all-ones significand, is encoded in the next exponent row. The exponent lower bound
is the smallest P3109 quantum, so the theorem covers every normal and subnormal row of every
valid descriptor.
